Vic And Bob: 12 Genius Sketches That Made Us Cry With Laughter

GOOD RUCK KID.

What is a Mulligan, without an O€™Hare? A Davey, without a Donald? What is a Vic, without a Bob?

Few comedy couplets in the world can contend with the genius nonsense that has splurged from the brains of these two over the past few decades. They taught us that a Bounty bar is the exact size and weight as a human thumb; Bill Cosby was not, in fact, the world€™s first black man (we€™ve been lied to our whole lives), and to never, EVER eat muesli on a mountain.
